The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ the son of God.

And as soon as he was come out of the water, John saw the heavens open, and the holy ghost descending upon him like a dove.

And there came a voice from heaven, "Thou art my dear son, in whom I delight."

And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, even as they were in the ship mending their nets.

And forthwith, as soon as they were come out of the Synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John.

And at even, when the sun was down, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils,

And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

But he, as soon as he was departed, began to tell many things and to publish the deed, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every quarter.

When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the sick of the palsy, "Son, thy sins are forgiven thee."

That ye may know that the son of man hath power in earth to forgive sins," he spake unto the sick of the palsy,

And as Jesus passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sit at the receipt of custom and said unto him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him.

Wherefore, the son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day."

And when the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him, and cried saying, "Thou art the son of God."

And he called James the son of Zebedee, and John, James' brother, and gave them Boanerges to name, which is to say, the Sons of Thunder.

And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon of Canaan,

but as soon as the sun was up, it caught heat: and because it had not rooting it withered away.

And they that are by the wayside, where the word is sown, are they to whom as soon as they have heard it, cometh immediately Satan and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

And likewise, they that are sown on the stony ground: which when they have heard the word, at once they receive it with gladness;

yet have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: and anon, as soon as any trouble and persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they fall.

And these are they that are sown among the thorns; which are such as hear the word of God,

And those that were sown in good ground, are they that hear the word and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold some sixty fold, some a hundred fold."

And as soon as the fruit is brought forth, anon he thrusteth in the sickle because that harvest is come."

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which when it is sown in the earth, is the least of all seeds that be in the earth:

But after that it is sown it groweth up, and is greatest of all herbs: and beareth great branches so that the fowls of the air may dwell under the shadow of it."

and cried with a loud voice and said, "What have I to do with thee, Jesus the son of the most highest God? I require thee in the name of God, that thou torment me not."

And there was there, nigh unto the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding,

and all the devils besought him saying, "Send us into the herd of swine, that we may enter into them."

And anon Jesus gave them leave; And the unclean spirits went out and entered into the swine. And the herd startled, and ran headlong into the sea. They were about two thousand swine, and they were drowned in the sea.

And the swine herders fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came out for to see, what had happened;

And they that saw it told them, how it had happened unto him that was possessed with the devil: and also of the swine.

As soon as Jesus heard that word spoken, he said unto the ruler of the Synagogue, "Be not afraid, only believe."

Is not this that carpenter: Mary's son, the brother of James, and Joseph and of Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" And they were offended by the reason of him.

And as soon as he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.

And as soon as they were come out of the ship, straight they knew him,

And the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven and tempting him,

and he sighed in his spirit and said, "Why doth this generation seek a sign? Verily I say unto you, there shall no sign be given unto this generation."

And he began to teach them, how that the son of man must suffer many things, and should be reproved of the elders and of the high priests and scribes, and should be killed, and after three days arise again.

Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words, among this adulterous and sinful generation: of him shall the son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his father with the holy angels."

And he said unto them, "Verily I say unto you: There be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power."

And his raiment did shine, and was made very white, even as snow: so white as no fuller can make upon the earth.

And there was a cloud that shadowed them. And a voice came out of the cloud saying, "This is my dear son, hear him."

And as they came down from the hill, he charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seen, till the son of man were risen from death again.

He answered and said unto them, "Elijah verily shall first come and restore all things. Also the son of man, as it is written, shall suffer many things, and shall be set at nought.

And one of the company answered, and said, "Master, I have brought my son unto thee, which hath a dumb spirit.

And they brought him unto him. And as soon as the spirit saw him, he tare him. And he fell down on the ground, wallowing and foaming.

For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, "The son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and after that he is killed he shall arise again the third day."

"Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the son of man shall be delivered unto the high priests and unto the scribes: and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the gentiles,

For even the son of man came, not to be ministered unto: but to minister, and to give his life for the redemption of many."

And they came to Jericho: and as he went out ofJericho, with his disciples and a great number of people, Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus, which was blind, sat by the highways side begging.

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry and to say, "Jesus, the son of David, have mercy on me."

And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace. But he cried the more a great deal, "Thou son of David have mercy on me."

and said unto them, "Go your ways into the town that is over against you. And as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt bound, whereon never man sat: loose him and bring him hither.

"Yet had he one son whom he loved tenderly, him also sent he at the last unto them, saying, 'They will fear my son.'

And as soon as they were come, they said unto him, "Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: For thou considerest not the degree of men, but teachest the way of God truly: Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?

And Jesus answered, and said, teaching in the temple, "How say the scribes, that Christ is the son of David?

Then David himself calleth him Lord, and by what means is he then his son?" And much people heard him gladly.

"When shall these things be? And what is the sign, when all these things shall be fulfilled?"

Yea, and the brother shall deliver the brother to death. And the father the son, and the children shall rise against their fathers and mothers, and shall put them to death.

Moreover, in those days after that tribulation, the sun shall wax dark, and the moon shall not give her light,

And then shall they see the son of man coming in the clouds, with great power and glory.

But of the day and the hour, knoweth no man: No, not the angels which are in heaven: neither the son himself, save the father only.

The son of man goeth, as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the son of man is betrayed. Good were it for him, if that man had never been born."

And he came the third time, and said unto them, "Sleep henceforth, and take your ease. It is enough. The hour is come; Behold the son of man shall be delivered into the hands of sinners.

And as soon as he was come, he went straightway to him, and said unto him, "Master, master," and kissed him.

And he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the highest priest asked him, and said unto him, "Art thou the Christ, the son of the blessed?"

And Jesus said, "I am. And ye shall see the son of man sit on the righthand of power, and come in the clouds of heaven."

And when the centurion which stood before him saw that he so cried and gave up the ghost, he said, "Truly this man was the son of God."

And early in the morning, the next day after the Sabbath day, they came unto the sepulchre when the sun was risen.

After that he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat: and cast in their teeth their unbelief, and hardness of heart: because they believed not them which had seen him after his resurrection.
